Laptop vs. Desktop: Where Do You Sit?

I haven't purchased a desktop in the past ten years. Considering how much I love to travel and the type of work I do I can't imagine having to sit in the same place every time I use the computer. Still, I completely understand that some people need the added memory and "power" of a desktop. That being said, the popularity of wireless Internet, docking stations and affordable laptops have made this a very portable world. Think I'm kidding? According to a recent Los Angeles Times article, "In the contest between PCs and laptops, an open-and-shut case," last year, for the first time, American consumers bought more of them than desktops. Sixteen of the twenty bestselling PCs on Amazon.com this holiday season were laptops. So where do you sit?

i have a laptop at home and a desktop at work, but i actually do prefer a desktop b/c of the whole memory capabilities. but i know that for school i do prefer the portability of a laptop. so i guess i really need like three computers. desktop for work, desktop for home, and laptop for school. boy i wish i had the money for all three.

I luuuurve my laptop (even if it its ghetto-old and the casing is falling apart) for managing my day-to-day stuff like my finances, internet (out in the boondocks, nothing but dialup no-thank-you) and for travel. But I also could not live without my desktop, which I can upgrade as needed instead of buying new and also allows me to indulge in my SIMS obsession.

I think both are cool and obviously love the portable aspect of a Laptop but I have had too many bad experiences with laptops to choose it over a PC.... my desktop has been nothing but wonderful and hasn't crashed or given me the blue screen of death so I love it lol.

I have an ancient PC at work, an ancient G5 at home, and a PC laptop at home. I'll soon be adding a MacBook Pro to my home list.I think using a desktop at work is nice, I definitely never find myself tempted to bring work home with me this way. However, I do stay late to finish things sometimes. I guess both desktops/laptops have pros and cons.
